Date-rape drug allegation in Duke case

The exotic dancer who accused members of the Duke University lacrosse team of raping her at a party may have been slipped a date-rape drug, according to an interview with the second dancer in the May 1 issue of Newsweek that appeared on stands today.

Newsweek also reported that a defense attorney said some DNA evidence had been found under the accuser's fingernails, but that the first round of DNA testing - which did not incriminate any of the 46 players swabbed - was inconclusive about identity. Results from a second round of tests are expected this week.

The accuser, a 27-year-old black college student and mother, said she was raped and beaten by white students on March 13 after performing for them at a house party. Two lacrosse team members, Collin Finnerty, 19, of Garden City, and Reade Seligmann, 20, of Essex Fells, N.J., were charged Tuesday. Defense lawyers have maintained their clients' innocence, offering a detailed timeline and time-stamped photos from the party that they say throw the woman's story into doubt.

Yeah, I'm back. I've never understood this blind racial hatred some of you people have so I'm going to follow this thread for a long time. Maybe I'll get some enlightenmen, eh?!

[Fintan]

 

Yeah, I'm buying this.

[Carolinamom]

Ours is NOT "blind racial hate." It's hatred of injustice.

[maggief]

You are race baiting up the wrong thread, pal. You've stated your agenda now move on!

[toldyou]

Good for you! I'm assuming that your children are good, responsible adults. They were lucky to have you as a mom! Sounds like you and your husband made some sacrifices.

I only had two in college....and I was never so poor! But it sure was worth it!

I have recovered!

[Carolinamom]

Thanks. They're now all taxpaying conservatives. My middle daughter told me once that they had had all they needed but not everything they wanted....which, she said, was good because it gave them the incentive to get those things for themselves.

The best compliment one of them ever gave my husband and me was when she exclaimed, "We had the BEST time growing up!" (I treasure that remark.)

-----I've never understood this blind racial hatred some of you people have-----

Oh gawd...

When all else fails...play the race card.

How original.

[muawiyah]

I've been watching what you post since the beginning. Either you've got a loved one involved on the team or you've got a wild hair somewhere, and it seems to revolve around the idea that this particular person with a criminal record could not be doing anything other than running a scam.

The evidence simply doesn't support your beliefs.

Best you wait until we have more evidence.

[muawiyah]

Nothing has failed yet, but the race card was played quite early several threads ago. I am surprised it continues with such a strong undercurrent at this late date.

Your feeble attempts at ridicule certainly serve to identify you as someone who simply does not care to discuss the case.

[Carolinamom]

You know nothing about me or the mounting evidence.

I'm noticing in a few more articles today that the press is using the term 'escort service' when refering to Kim and Crystal's employers. Wonder if they finally went and checked out the websites??? LOL
